    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm putting my GS 450 back together after a Spring Crash last April. I've rebuilt the forks out of necessity and was wondering about rear shocks.....any advice? The bike is an S model with faring and the cafe styling. I'm an old guy who rides casually, not breaking any records, but still, what are a better set of shocks than my 30 year old stockers?

All depends on your budget really... MDI's are apparently ok for the price, Progressives up from that, and Ikons up from that. Then you have the random cheapo's on eBay which can be good or bad depending on rider weight, and of course the upper end of the spectrum with Ohlins, Works, etc.

I went Ikons myself but can't tell you how they run just yet.
